Feasting on Fragrances: Welcome to the World of Gastronomic Perfumes

Gastronomic
Perfumes are a bit of paradox, not commonly understood and quite confusing. In
this discussion, we will tell you everything you need to know about this exclusive
type of perfume.

Starting the Discussion: Food & Scent Connection

Flavor
is the combination of taste experienced on your tongue and the aroma you
experience through your nose. We all have scents that take us back to some
happy place. However, no matter how good the scent of freshly baked bread or
barbecue makes you feel, you probably haven't been able to find these food
scents in a suitable little bottle — until now! Yes, the introduction of
Gastronomic Perfumes enables you to wear your favorite food’s fragrance. These
wearable Foodie Fragrances are not easy to find in the market as consumers are
still exploring the idea of wearing a food-based fragrance. Also called Gourmet
Fragrances, these perfumes present a mix of nostalgic smells from the kitchen,
of the foods you adore and even kitchen gardens.

Inducing
buying behavior among consumers by using special scents is an open industry. It
has been used in the packaged and freshly cooked/served food industry for
decades. Bakers and patisseries have been using these techniques rather wisely.
Certain smells amplify our perception of a product, attracting otherwise
reluctant customers. Studies indicate sense as the most powerful stimulus to provoke
a strong emotional response. Here, smells stimulate impulse purchases. This
underlines the fact that Food Fragrances can be as evocative and inspiring as floral scents.

Understand Gastronomic Perfumes with Examples:

2.Appleberry
jam - A blend of fresh apples and mixed berries with a hint of fresh, juicy
pears

3.Banana
cookies - A blend of fresh cookie dough and ripe bananas

4.Chocolate
- Old fashioned Chocolate, spices, and woods

5.Cocoa mints - A fresh
baked fudge brownie fragrance with a hint of peppermint
and a splash of wintergreen

The
current perfume marketplace is still maturing to the idea of Gastronomic
Fragrances. These scents are finding a way in colognes, perfumes and candles but
overall, the consumption rate is rather humble. The marketplace is accepting
more Food Fragrances that can satiate or initiate cravings of your favorite
food. This is also the more organic way of approaching perfumes. Why? Because
the emphasis is on scents that resemble naturally grown, everyday essentials
like different types of foods/eatables.
